right. so you give me the time on the other side. odd because it was one of the few times i could not see it. oh is it really. is that what we re saying? i was late one time in all the years i ve been together. all right. now a lot of it s all right. so out your awesome show and i will pick it up where you left off. i m laura ingraham. this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. we re going to bring you voices from inside tonight s twitter announcement from ron desantis. david sax, who actually moderated the event along with congressman thomas massie ,he participated as well. he ll be here. plus, you re going to hear from newt gingrich, charlie hurt, raymond arroyo. they re going to compare previous presidential launches and tell you how this one stacked up. but first, as you might have guessed, desantis launches. that s the focus of tonight s angle. now it s quiet. let s see. so we all look so just to simplify. all right, great. so let s see. crashing her
people and our freedom. and he addressed that specifically. but long before he announced tonight, the jackals on the left had decided that he, in fact, could even be scarier than trump . there are a lot of younger people in that party that are much scarier. desantis for one , this guy is a fascist. this is the coming straight out of the authoritarian playbook. this is what s so disturbing about desantis. and desantis is almost accelerated the racism as the point in his quest to run the most right wing fascist primary campaign ever. desantis is throwing all the right wing, putting at the wall with and now something for vanity fair yesterday that was so bizarrely vicious. it s almost a parody of itself, kind of like that montage we just played for you , a piece that was titled desantis will formally announce his 2020 four bid with elon musk because apparently david duke wasn t available and there were other neo-nazi sympathizers and very
choice, that iconic momentrrativ to to sort of see t the narratie . and i think if you look back at trump or barack obama in springfield, we re still talking seven years later aboutm donald trump coming down those staircases. and ini think this this feels like an a the club podcast. t aa and it wasn t befitting a governor of florida. he should have a big rally. in fact, i think ron desantis played and looked so much more presidential monday night at the nba in orlando. day nighthat would have been ae launch pad than this kind of. stumblin. i wanted i don t know why there was i wantedl image and to see nineteen thirty four . i wanted me to i felt like it was walton s mountain. we were all gathered aroundm an like the 10%.el yeah.l w sahem and i were texting each other. i d like tell me when it s i m ing. she s like, i m not on , lik i m kicked up and i m likecked i m kicked off and tomi s like . i m on like it was like the keystone cops. we couldn t figure it out.
impression of someone who doesn t get thrown off his game very easily. made a g now, he certainly do. and again, other people would el havey. been really unhappy.le w this kind of thingould has happd to me a lot.unthis k david , i m kind of laughing because i m very empathetic when this kind of stuff happens. of i m glad it happens to elon musk because he s a lot smarter than a lot of peoplee like me on technology. let s talk about the economy, because that wase on one issue t meand i ve mentioned this with newt earlier. ofu probably missed it, buis wiy wasn t more of a focus tonightit on the issue, the numbering them one issue that americans say is bothering them, which is inflation whichs , high pricn the economy? i mean, you re right. we should have had more questions on that. there s so many other questions that we could have gotten to . s but the time just went by so fast. we only had abouto an hour and , you know, i wantedto g to give him timeiv to firsto fi lay out his vis
now, newt, and it s a good point. but as it can, people grabndersn on to that and kind of the understand lot the contract, the america what that what is he getting at there? i mean, we you and i know, but can the folks around the dinner table understand that who arefo not into politics? y se this may seem like an oddik comment, but i think that he s very, very smart. he s he clearly did very well at yale. very is clearly capable of thinking about big ideas. but, you know, ronald reagan was probably equally smart, but he also understood that he had to communicate so that everyday s unfolks understood it. tru one of trump s great advantages is he talks to level with third, fourth and fifth grade educations, could say, oh, yeah , i get that.sa i understand it.y oh and in fact, trump has now made ha the republican party, the party of working americans in a waarty that probably hasn t been truea for almost 100 years. so the challenge for the senate is take that interesting
